regarding reach objectives. Summarizing what has been discussed on
the reflector I see the following – Reach ObjectivesLong-Haul --> 100+ kmMetro --> 10+
kmData Center --> 50m & 300mData Center Reach SegregationIntra-rackInter-rackHorizontal runsVertical risersUse this data to identify a single
low-cost solution that would address a couple of the reach objectivesOther AreasDuring the course of the CFI there

individuals who wish to propose Backplane as an objective?John
